Folks,

Has anyone perforated intentionally (or unintentionally) through swelling elastomer packers?

We are running oil-swellable packers, and due to tolerances we may end up perforating across some of the top/bottom of the packers to ensure we fully access a heterogeneous reservoir section.

If there are examples, were there any downsides seen in the cleanup phase or later production life with rubber debris?

Regards,
